Determine whether or not adherence to the ACA Code of Ethics
should be based on the prison security type (i.e., maximum,
medium, or minimum). Provide a rationale for your response.
1 Members shall respect and protect the civil and legal
rights of all individuals.
Inmates are still people and deserve to be treated with dignity
and respect. They still have civil and legal rights and it is part
of the correctional facility's job to ensure all individuals,
inmates and staff, are treated safely and within the law.
1 Members shall treat every professional situation with
concern for the welfare of the individuals involved and with no
intent to personal gain.

3. Correctional facilities should strive for professionalism in all
situations and ensure that their staff acts professional. Prisons
can be dangerous and inmates can act out and be disrespectful
on a regular basis. This can make the environment stressful and
cause staff to react in unprofessional ways. Regardless of the
situation, all staff should act professional and ensure the
welfare of all individuals. This includes not acting on behalf of
themselves for personal gain.
The adherence to the ACA Code of Ethics should be for all
prison types, not just based on the prison security type. Any
type of correctional facility can be at risk for failing to uphold
the ACA Code of Ethics whether it is a minimum or maximum
security facility. Any facility can be dangerous and prone to
ethical violations, therefore all staff should uphold these ethics
to ensure the best possible outcome for safety, honestly,
respect, and dignity for all staff and inmates.
From the second e-Activity, evaluate the effectiveness of the
special restrictions imposed on serious terrorist in relation to
the elimination of the radicalization of other prisoners housed
in supermax facilities. Provide a rationale for your response.
Some of the special restrictions put on serious terrorists and
violent criminals are closely monitored mail, only allowed a
few visits, and the inmates are kept in solitary confinements.
However, FBI director Robert S. Mueller III told the House
Judiciary Committee that he has concerns about terrorists being
housed in prisons with US citizens. Some of his concerns are
the potential to finance terrorists, radicalizing others to violent
extremism, and the potential for individuals undertaking attacks
in the United States. Furthermore, there are inmates in our
prison system that are still able to manage the operation of their
gang from inside prison walls. These are all very real concerns
when it comes to housing terrorists in US prisons. I do not

4. believe that the special restrictions imposed on terrorists will
always be able to work when it comes to eliminating the
radicalization of other prisoners in supermax facilities. Inmates
have proven time and again that they can find ways around the
system, such as, escaping, turning guards to their favor, rioting,
and overtaking a prison to name a few. Where there is a will
there is a way, so I personally believe terrorists should be kept
separate from the US prison populations.

It is very difficult to police and adjudicate transnational crimes
because it involves more than one country. If someone smuggles
drugs from Cuba to the United States it involves the drug
trafficking from Cuba but also the crime of possessing it in the
U.S. So now the question is which country has jurisdiction of
the crime. Cuban laws could not be as harsh as the United
States. The individual could get a break or walk free. I believe
if everyone came to an agreement that the crime should be
prosecuted where it ended. They can do the leg work from there.
I feel there is too much involved with sending the individual
back to where the crime started and prosecuting them there.
That not only cost money but also time. They would have to be
escorted everywhere and watched until they are in the custody
of someone else.

7. After watching the video I agree with the police chief that as
long as it is a legal traffic stop then they can say what they
would like. You can persuade individuals to search their
vehicles. Everything starts with a legal traffic stop. If he is just
pulling over cars because he thinks they are suspicious or
possibly have drug money then he should be investigated. There
is a fine line between what is legal and digging for something
because you want inside the vehicle. I think cameras are the
best idea for this. We just started getting body cameras last year
at my department. Complaints went down and if one came in our
Chief can look into it further to see if it is valid. This applies to
individuals that are being pulled over for no reason. Once the
lights are activated the camera is as well. If this occurred I
again agree with the chief that he is investigating it further with
that officer. He can help fix the problem from occurring in the
future and not having the officer look terrible in court or give
their department a bad name as a whole.
